ABS Fixed for 1/10 the cost!
I have a 2003 Corvette and the panel lite up like a Christmas tree indicating a problem with the ABS. The Chevy dealer wanted $3,500 to repair it. They only replace the parts not fix them. I sent the ABS brain unit to “ABSFixer.com” for $200, plus $100 for my mechanic to remove and reinstall the part. ABS fixer gives a lifetime warranty on the repair and my mechanic plugged it back in and it is working perfectly!

I used ABS Fixer a couple of years ago and no problems at all and the savings were great!

$3500? You can buy a brand new AC Delco unit on Amazon for $600. It's about an hour job to replace it, so the dealer is charging almost $2000 for an hour of labor. That is criminal. There must be a law.

Isn't retail for the EBCM about $1300? Even at that price $2200/hr is a little steep for labor.

Independent shops will screw you just like the dealers. It's about honesty and fraud. The ECBM job can be done in an hour by a backyard mechanic. A trained mechanic should be able to do it in that amount of time. $3500 is fraud.

What sucks is I worked where they were probably made years ago. I did machine repair at Kelsey Hays (1998-2000) and we made a lot of different ABS systems. To bad I couldn't get them to make some more. I'm sure GM wouldn't allow it.

That's why I will never buy a new GM product.

Abs quick fix
Had ABS lights on dash of my 99. Found suggestion on forum that may be caused by not being used. ( I drive too carefully?). Anyway, recommended that it-ABS- be engaged to free up internals. Did so. Good fun and haven't had problem since!
